On an ironic note, I think that we can all be glad that the previous MEC tried to deliver the Tumi turd as it was written. Had they just come out with current book plus 15%, it probably would have passed, and hurt other airlines negotiations as well. Instead we got a rare example of unpolished excrement that was shot down by 94%, we replaced our bad apples, and Delta set the bar. This might not be fast, and those with arbitrary dates could easily be disappointed, but the final product will be much better than what we would have had if the previous MEC hadn’t tried to sell us such a substandard TA.
